Stuffed Breakfast Peppers

May 29, 2014 Amanda Plott

I've made Baked Egg and Avocado Bowls before, which are amazing, but I am also a fan of stuffed peppers. So, I figured... why not use the same idea and stuff peppers as a healthy low cab breakfast option? Of course!

These peppers are super easy to toss together and taste great. I was a little surprised with how filling and satisfying these were. I'm generally a carbivore in the morning.

Yes. That's right. A carbivore.

You know, similar to a carnivore... but with carbs rather than meat.

Shameful, I know. But... at least I'm honest!...

Skinny Cheesy Green Chile Sausage Gravy

May 27, 2014 Amanda Plott

A few words that you don't normally see in a description together? Skinny, cheesy, and gravy. But, somehow I've managed to pull it off. This gravy is so full of vegetables and lean sausage that you can absolutely afford the cheese that's in there.

Seriously. This stuff is pretty addicting.

The first time that I made this recipe was last week to go along with my 3 Ingredient Biscuits as a test. I've never made a gravy before, much less one that was healthified or skinny at all. So, I was a bit skeptical that I what I had planned would turn out at all...

Skinny Crock Pot Cochinita Pibil

A couple of months ago my mom was insistent on me meeting her all the way across town to try this little Mexican place nearby her house that she had recently discovered. Usually, my mother and I are not quite on par when it comes to places that we enjoy dining out... so I was more than a little skeptical.

However, she tempted me with happy hour margaritas.

I'm a sucker. What can I say?...

Spinach & White Bean Tacos

Who knew that veggie tacos could be so amazingly delicious and filling?!

Oh, well... me - of course!

I am always trying new and interesting ways to add more vegetables into our lives here. It's not always an easy task if you have a preschooler who's more than a little finicky when it comes to food...

Skinny 7 Layer Tostadas

When I was first hatching this plan, I was looking to make tostadas, but I really wanted more of a meatless recipe for the week. I always have at least one meatless dinner a week because it saves time, money, and usually a few calories!

Anyway, I figured... I love tostadas and I love 7 Layer Dip... so why not put the two together?

Perfect!...

Chile-Lime Avocados

March 26, 2014 Amanda Plott

Alright, so maybe I am slightly obsessed with avocados.

I'm always trying to find new and interesting ways to eat them! Though in all honesty, I could just as easily sit down with an avocado and a spoon and be quite the happy girl. Which is awfully funny considering up until about 5 years ago, I was anything but an avocado fan!

Can I please have all those avocados, guacamole, and naps back that I refused in my younger years? Sort of like roll-over minutes?...
